Thinking Out Loud
Life is fragile
And tomorrow
Is a big question mark.
Smile with her now.
    Apologize to her now.
           Forgive her now.
              Express now.
                Commit now.
                   Give time to her now.
                     Call her now.
             Create now.
                       Heal the wounds now.
        KISS HER NOW COULD BE AN ANSWERED PRAYER
                    TO
                              Begin again.

I am someone you can count on.
If I say I will, I do.
If I say I can, it’s true.
I labor on when the rest are gone.

You can trust me with your secrets.
I’ve no need to tell the world.
My gossip flag is always furled.
So you will never have regrets.

I’m the one who’ll stand beside you
As you wade through thick and thin.
I’ll be like your next of kin
And I will always see you through.

to try it consciously.
